EXPLORING ANCIENT GREECE: Society & Religion
A production of Astarte Resources
In a land divided into
many independent city states, religion was a strong bond that helped the ancient Greeks to identify with each other and to
distinguish their society from the world of the outsider. This film takes students on a journey to visit many of the major
religious sites of ancient Greece, from the large temple of Apollo
at Didyma, to the imporant santuary of Zeus at Olympia and finally to the well-preserved archaeological sites in Athens. There is discussion of the
Greek gods and of the popular religious festivals: the Panathenaic Festival, the Eleusinian Mysteris and the great drama festival
of the City Dionysia.
Recommended for students from the 5th
through 8th grades.
